Too Evil to Have a Human Name (Sunday 7:00 -9:00 p.m.) will be absent this weekend. Most will rejoice, but the few will be rewarded with the next show featuring a report and new music from the Never Surrender Fest in Oakland, CA. Your host will be attending all three days which feature bands such as Black Witchery, Volahn, Grave Upheaval and many other underground abominations. Bill sez…. “In Nominos Satanas.”

At 9:00 p.m. Monday, October 21, WRCT and the Ace Hotel present Tiger Force DJing In the Weeds at the Ace Hotel, 120 S Whitfield St, Pittsburgh.

Tiger Force is a group of music lovers turned DJs. Emerging from the tall grass, striped with color and sound, they pounce from the savannah into the hotel lobby. They are excited to serve you tripped out lounge music, ecstatic soul, and, if we’re all feeling it, tunes you can boogie to. This will be amazing!

Check it out at the Ace Hotel between 9:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. on Monday, October 21!

About 11:20 a.m. on Wednesday October 16, Mandorichard will be chatting with Tommy Sands on WRCT’s Whiskey Before Breakfast!

Tommy began touring with his brothers and sister in the 1970s and is known as an eloquent storyteller throughout all of Ireland — North and South. He works hard to provide the music of healing to all who are in conflict. (“The Music of Healing“)

He will be appearing for Calliope on Thursday, October 24 in what promises to be a stellar solo show.

So tune in to 88.3 FM in Pittsburgh or the stream at www.wrct.org for Whiskey Before Breakfast at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday. You’ll hear an eclectic mix of folk music and a great conversation with Tommy Sands.

(Note: If you miss the Tommy Sands interview, it will be available at Mandorichard’s mixcloud page on Thursday.)
